The abhorrent condition of that '68 'vert
notwithstanding (I didn't even notice the harvest gold
carpetting, i was looking at the car on my projector
which is only a 800x600 res), I thought that a 68
Imperial would qualify as a Classic. In the state of
Maryland, you can get Historic plates for anything
older than 25 years, or older than 20 years if it is a
discontinued model. I thought that 25 years was the
threshold for "Classic". Antique I profess to know
nothing about, but I thought it was something like 50
years old...again, these definitions I am thinking of
refer to a car's age, not to the time period during
which they were made. I guess, using my logic, in
2040 a 1990 Ford Taurus (if there are any left) will
be an Antique.
